Add debian stable based image to build swt natives #2441
Conversation
|
Can you build swt gtk4 on it ? I don't think doing any switch that doesn't allow that is worth the effort. |
No gtk4 will require debian-stable (not old stable), but this will raise the Glibc requirement considerably..
We currently build on an image we can't actively change nor can get any patches anymore, we can't build it even in the current state. So my fist goal would be to get into a working state again where we have the chance to update. |
|
Please note that changing the image may raise in some other way (glibc/cairo/.....) and introduce breakage (and extra work - e.g. simrel projects no longer build and test with default image centos) while there is no gain from it. I don't mind the change in principle just looking for some benefit when introducing potential extra work. |

BTW oldstable is currently GLIBC 2.31-13 |

I now moved to debian-stable what supports gtk4 (4.8.3) and uses glibc 2.36-9 with that I can compile the GTK4 binaries when apply this PR: |

FWIW, binaries produced that way will run just fine on distro having GTK 4.10+ e.g. Ubuntu 24.04 so it is a good first step. |
Currently we build the swt natives with centos-8 but this is now gone, also centos-9 no longer provides stable releases but only rolling-streams, This adds a new container based on debian stable and only adds the absolute minimum required to build the swt natives. Why Debian: Debian offers quite conservative dependencies and LTS releases so there is a good chance to have a common baseline that works on more ahead distributions as well (e.g. GClib /GTK/... versions).

Unluckily the push fails, I created: |
The image 'platformreleng-centos-swt-build:8' cannot be built anymore and is therefore not updated. Align with SWT and use the debian-12 image instead. This will increase the GLIBC version requirement to version 2.34, see eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt#1422 (comment) See also eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator#2441
